Greece should: 1. Default on the loans they can't pay. Its just the ECB paying them right now anyway. 2. Now, they would no longer be able to loan a dime.
I'm not even sure about that. Free of debt economy being built with motivated population? Might be a good investment... get in early They should do 1. and then make their own currency. I read they have some gold, just use that to back it and jump in the boat with russia, china,... (who will do the same at some point) and be the first of european nations to have sound money. If they did that they'd be the richest nation in Europe by 2020.

That's not necessarily true. You might get to keep a minimum for survival (300 tons of gold is not unreasonable, also: Bill Gates said civilized people don't want gold, so the bankers should be civilized). Also: Russian military will protect their "fellow free market allies", threatening to nuke the City of London

Yeah probably, I'm guessing a smaller amount though and not the first months/year. Would be better for them if they didn't loan and fixed things instead.

Guys! We've derailed the thread. We are supposed to be discussing how we can get the Greeks to buy into Bitcoin. Also, Argentina has also implemented capital controls. We need to take advantage of this golden opportunity! With $4bn a week leaving Greece, even a tiny percentage of that would be great for bitcoin. Not only in bringing more capital into our economy but also, if the media picks up the story that people are going to bitcoin as a 21st century capital control evasion method, this could be very big indeed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys0B0TFFVbw&feature=g-all-u(They are even using sniffer dogs to catch people smuggling dollars. I'd like to see them try sniffing bitcoins )

Given the scale of what is about to unfold on the international financial markets, I think we're about to get a field test of how good bitcoin is for people circumventing capital controls. This is going to be very, very interesting.
+1 The is one of the largest benefits of Bitcoin: for surviving governmental SHTF episodes.

Looks like there are a few missing... just fill in any of these: <translation type="unfinished"/> like this: <translation>Δημιoύργησε νέα διεύθυνση</translation> If you don't know how to use github, dump it in pastebin and I'll upload it to github and issue a pull request.

If you are translating the bitcoin information to greek, start the spanish translation too because is the next country going into bankrupcy. Assets are leaving the country in a high speed because the government is planning to aprove a wealth tax again and some banks are being nationalized.

Go to Greece and spent a week on the streets yelling about bitcoin/hand out some flyers. Its how most grassroots and political parties do it - get the attention of a few hundred, then hope they tell 2 others each.
